Update on the baby...

Just so you all know... I have passed my 3 hour glucose tolerance test. Because I was gestational with Kaleb I had to get tested early (around 20 weeks) and to no surprise I failed my one hour, so I challenged the three hour, and I passed. But because that was early I had to take it again at 28 weeks. Well same story here, I failed my one hour and passed my three hour. I am so relieved that I don't have to worry about having the horrible disease.

We still haven't come up with a name yet, but I am starting to give in to Ricky and actually am starting to think that I really like Kameron. So that is probably going to be his name. I am 31 weeks now and wish that the last 9 weeks would just hurry up.

I have to start physical therapy next week because my left hip is killing me. It gets so bad at night that Ricky has to walk behind me up the stairs so I don't fall back. And he rotates my leg around to stretch it out and get it loose again. I sure hope that this isn't going to last forever and goes away once the baby is born!

Another note, Ricky and I are in school! We are both taking a math class at Everett Community College. He goes every day for 50 minutes and I go M and W for 2 hours and 20 minutes. Since it is the same class but different teachers, it is easier to understand the lessons and really grasp the concepts. I will be taking next quarter off, and Ricky might or might not. But we will be back at it in the summer.

Take care all, and as Ricky would say... "GO STEELERS!!"

Kaleb's Christmas

At first I thought that Kaleb would not want anything to do with opening Christmas gifts, but I was wrong. He wasn't ripping into them or anything and actually he wanted to make sure that every piece of tape and paper was off the gift before he even laid eyes on whatever it was that was inside. Ricky and I let him open all of the gifts that were under the tree and he was actually interested until we were about 3/4 of the way done. Well at least until he opened his Thomas the Train cho cho set. Once that was open and he saw what it was, he didn't care about anything else that could possibly be opened. So Ricky and I finished and lets just say that he hasn't stopped playing with his cho cho since.
Thank you to all of you that were so giving this year. Because you were so generous, Ricky and I only bought Kaleb 2 things, everything was given or purchased with a gift card that he was given. So THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
Pictures to come...

playing in the snow

Sorry the pictures are little. Just get really close to your screen and you will be able to give him a kiss and see a little better! :)

Kaleb's 1st time playing in the snow...

Just a little update...

Ricky and I went to another ultra sound about a week ago, for a check up on the baby's kidneys. It turns out that the alarming number to be worried about is 7mm and the baby's kidney was at 6mm. So we are in the "clear" zone. The dr there said that the pediatricians' would want to do a ultrasound a week or two after he is born. So until then, we are going to stop worrying so much and focus on having a healthy baby boy. Now the next obstical is yet another glucose tollerance test. I was gestational with Kaleb, so they screaned me early and I failed my one hour but passed my three hour. Since it was early this time I still need to do it again at 28 weeks. Which is only about a week away. I am going in on Monday to take it before I leave for MN. Anyways, I thought that everyone would just like an update.
We are going to play in the snow in a little while so I will get those pictures up soon.
Take care everyone! We love you all.

Kaleb and Santa

They both look SO scared! At least there were NO tears (by either of them).
